Program

PINEAPPLE POLL OVERTURE
PIRATES OF PENZANCE
O Better Far to Live and Die
O, is there not One Maiden Breast
Poor Wand’ring One
Hold Monsters
I am the very Model of a Modern Major-General
When the Foeman Bares His Steel
When a Felon’s Not Engaged
Poor Wande’ring One

THE MIKADO
Overture excerpt
If You want to know Who We Are/ A Wand’ring Minstrel
Young Man Despair
As Some Day it May Happen
Three Little Maids
The Sun Whose Rays
A More Humane Mikado
The Flowers That Bloom in the Spring
Alone, and Yet Alive … Hearts Do Not Break
Willow, tit-willow
There is Beauty in the Bellow of the Blast
For He’s Gone and married Yum Yum

THE GONDOLIERS
Excerpt from “Dance a Cachucha”
We’re Called Gondelieri
From the Sunny Spanish Shore
In Enterprise of Martial Kind
I Stole the Prince
Then One of Us Will be Queen
Then Away They Go
Of Happiness the Very Pith
Rising Early in the Morning
Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes
Dance a Cachucha
Luiz! … Casilda! … Is this Indeed the King? OR When Others Claimed Thy Dainty Hand
